Hi Toofuzzy, Actually I have looked as far back as I can go with some of the narrow range ETFs and they are more or less within the same narrow range over several years. This would mean no trades at all for years to come, baring a market crash that hit ETFs hard. They seem somewhat resistant to a big drop given what I've seen of the 2011 data. Not many are older than that so it is hard to tell how they would react to a 2007-9 type retrenchment. So it might be that a BTB AIM setting might not work very well.

Best to you and yours, now and in the New Year,

Allen

I have fould that if you are ALWAYS starting with 50% cash you might actually do better starting when something is at its high and declines. That is because you will get more invested in stock at lower prices as opposed to starting with 50% CASH AND THAT INCREASING TO 80% before you get a pullback.

Hi Toofuzzy.

You prefer that over using vWave as the choice of starting cash % ?

Looks to me that vWave is relatively consistent with a broad market AIM's ongoing cash reserve % i.e. as though you started from a base of having used a virtual historic AIM's current indicated cash reserve %

All the best for the New Year to one and all.

Clive.
